    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    Drinking from the well of false prophet Paul, is probably not the wisest move. As for 1 John 2:2 you also need to go onto 1 John 2:3, "And by this we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments". This written to the "young men" in whom the "word of God abides". (1 John 2:14) That...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    ERROR, listen and Learn, Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:11 "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that...

    GINOLJC, to all, what many are missing is this. God is a Spirit. listen real Good, "THE FLESH PROFIT NOTHING". so Israel in the flesh cannot please God. supportive scripture. Romans 9:6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:"...

    Man made traditions from the Church or the Word of God - Who do you believe and follow?

    Sorry my friend I have no idea what your talking about. It was you that said ... For which I posted scripture support... your clutching at straws. How Christ died is irrelavent. That he would die was always known from the foundation of the world..... John 1:29 [29], The next day John sees...

    Your clutching at straws how Christ died is irrelavent. That he would die was always known from the foundation of the world..... John 1:29 [29], The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. 1 Peter 1:18-20 [18], For as...

    A dialogue about Prophecy & doctrines between the WTS/JW & Seventh-day Adventist

    Yep, the details matter. Should be the next popular catch slogan. Here is another example of the "cross" in scripture from another typology - Samson: Samson; Judges 16. Samson carrying bars of the Gate at Gaza, old mosaic. Just as Samson, representing Jesus as deliverer, was born...

    'Apologiz-ing' (1 Pet. 3:15) to Muslims and Islam

    The inescapable "pattern": [2] Samson; Judges 16. Read the whole chapter here (saves space) - Judges 16:16 (KJV) [A.] Just as Samson, representing Jesus as deliverer, was born specially, by promise from God, to a woman which could not bare, and he was to be filled with the Holy Ghost, and to...

    When evangelists knock on your door...

    I know. No religion group is free from sin, you too. For example, in 2015 it was discovered that Jehovah's Witnesses had been hushed up child abuse for decades. (over 1000 cases) Church 'hid 1,000 alleged abusers' I didn't kill anybody. The cross is holy. (Ephesians 2:16) (1 Corinthians...

    The New Man

    It is much easier to describe and explain the material. The spiritual is abstract, and requires 'ears to hear', as the bible puts it. A lengthy exposition on the rebirth of the spirit of man would likely be reduced to fodder for hecklers.. I'm sure you wouldn't want that... ;)

    The New Man

    A new spirit and new heart in is the promise of a new covenant going back to Jeremiah 32:40 or Ezekiel chapters 36, 37 It was a promise long in coming Perhaps you see a hope for that in other places because there is some heart cry for help and mercy to change and a need to change that is felt

    The New Man

    You didn't explain what Jesus meant by becoming "born again", and yes there is both an inner working (I wouldn't exactly call it conversion) and an outward mandate (The Kingdom of God or New Creation). I think it would better if you gave as a lengthy explanation as to what the Christian concept...

    Works vs Doctrine

    It seems to me that if you cannot have salvation without faith (belief in the doctrines) and faith without works is dead(lifeless, without effect) then you cannot have salvation without works, unless you can be saved through dead faith. If that were so, it would not be necessary to make the...

    Works vs Doctrine

    Your foundation seems to be one built on Paul, versus heeding the testimony of Yeshua (Matthew 7:24), which would be a foundation of "sand" (Matthew 7:26). Yeshua's testimony was that if it doesn't produced "good fruit", it will be cut down and tossed into the fire.(Matthew 7:19)

    Works vs Doctrine

    Both faith and salvation are works of the Spirit. Faith is the instrument (work) by which God brings us salvation. We receive faith because of God's grace and mercy. This is through the love of God (Ephesians 4-5) and not because we earned or deserved it (Ephesians 2:5, Ephesians 2:16). This...

    Let's Talk About the Holy Spirit

    @Deeje What do you think of the scriptures I provided for proof it means to gather to the body of The Christ? 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form...

    Accept Jesus as personal savior - Fast Food Salvation

    1. Agreed. 2. Luke 13 "Unless you repent you too shall perish." Matthew 25 Sheep and the goats. Neither of them say "believe." Anyone can find a scripture or several scriptures that mention only ONE OF the components of salvation AND LIE by saying that verse is exclusive of all others. 3...

    Accept Jesus as personal savior - Fast Food Salvation

    We are to trust in Christ and his finished work on the cross to have paid our sin-debt. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Hebrews 10:12 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the...

    Jesus And The Law

    Shalom! I guess we need to start with Peter talking about Paul... 2 Peter 3:16 He speaks about this subject in all his letters. Some things in them are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort to...
